This Reigns/Rusev match basically sums up what sucks about the WWE. It's a fine match in its own right, but it doesn't even remotely fit the narrative. Roman Reigns was just screwed out of his title last night. He's pissed. He made a bunch of threats in the ring to start the show. He stared down his boss.
So what does he do? Well, he comes out and he wrestles this match just like he wrestles every other match. No added intensity. No pure ass kicking. Just a paint by numbers Roman Reigns match.
The finale tonight should not have been a match. It should have been Roman Reigns destroying someone. It should have been Reigns relentlessly beating whoever his opponent was and anyone else who tried to get in his way.
Instead, we get a perfectly normal match like nothing of importance happened last night.
